Abstract:
A system and method of using an adaptable interface for a medical device such as a scale. The scale includes a memory, a display, a processor, and a measurement component to measure one or more characteristics of a subject, such as height or weight. The adaptable interface includes a reconfigurable driver module that enables communication with different Electronic Health Record (“EHR”) systems. The interface can download new drivers or update drivers to reconfigure the driver module. The reconfigured driver module is then configured to communicate with an EHR system according to the particular EHR system communication protocol. The adaptable interface is modular and includes one or more mounting adapters to enable coupling to adjustable interface mounting assembly. The adjustable interface mounting assembly is also operable to receive other modular interface units.
